Holscher's Hub: Team Spirit, 1987

Back in February 2012 I posted some photos of Team Spirit, 1987.  I did this in a slide show format.

Today, I've reposted some (but not all) of those photos here, but back dated them to be posted on the same date.

I did this as I didn't really like the slide show format much, and the photos were smaller than I liked.  Also, for anyone interested in the topic, and it'd be darned few, the slide show is, I think, a bit of a deterrent to viewing it.

Pacific Aviation Museum: F5

This F5 is a former South Korean Air Force F5 Tiger.  Eons ago, when I was in the National Guard, I had the experience of watching ROKAF F5s in a practice dogfight against USAF fighters, as the Korean jets attempted to break through an escort in order to take on a FB111.  Quite the thing to see.

These are all photographs from the 1987 Team Spirit exercise in South Korea, which I took way back when. The same photos are (were, since I originally posted this Photobucket messed it up) already up in the form of a slide show, but in looking back at them, I found them a bit difficult to really enjoy that way, so today, April 3, 2015, I'm reposting them in this fashion, with a bit more information.
